BETTER PLUS: Building Excellence in Teaching, Training, Education and Research

鲍伊州立大学（BSU）的项目名为：在教学，培训，教育和研究中建立卓越，将根据经验教训，对现有计划的优势和成就进行评估，并评估BSU需要去哪里以满足其现有的需求。该项目将通过以下三个目标扩大外联、教学和辅导活动：1）重新设计守门人课程，课程开发、修订和改进改革，2）扩大本科生招聘、充实、保留和研究经验的途径，3）加强教师发展活动。目标是通过解决现有的弱点和加强研究基础设施来改善BSU的所有STEM项目该项目将与行业和其他学术机构建立伙伴关系，以增加BSU教师和学生的研究机会。 该项目将继续作为社区，学校教师，学生和行业的灯塔，关注对高素质STEM毕业生的迫切需求。将与当地行业，K-12教师，家长和学生以及社区机构建立伙伴关系，以扩大少数民族学生在STEM中的参与。 跨学科教学课程和研究基础设施将得到改善，这将增加STEM毕业生的产量。

Bowie State University's (BSU) project entitled: Building Excellence in Teaching, Training, Education and Research, will incorporate improvements and enhancements of STEM undergraduate education based on lessons learned, an evaluation of the strengths and accomplishments of the existing program, and an assessment of where BSU needs to go to meet its existing needs. The project will expand outreach, teaching, and mentoring activities through the following three objectives: 1) redesigning gate keeper courses, curricular development, revision and enhancement reform, 2) expanding pathways for undergraduate recruitment, enrichment, retention and research experiences, and 3) strengthening faculty development activities. The goal is to improve all STEM programs at BSU by addressing existing weaknesses and by strengthening the research infrastructure The project will establish partnerships with industries and other academic institutions to increase research opportunities for BSU faculty and students. The project will continue to serve as a beacon to the community, school teachers, students, and industry, putting the spotlight on the acute need for highly qualified STEM graduates. Partnerships with local industries, K-12 teachers, parents, and students, and community agencies will be established, to broaden the participation of minority students in STEM. The interdisciplinary teaching curriculum and research infrastructure will be improved, which will increase the production of STEM graduates.
